'Yesterday the Investigation of this horrible affair was re.- sumed at Hatton-garden Police-office, betbre Mr. Sergeant SELLON and Mr. Lavin. The prisoners, Jeremiah Caen and Mary Caen, the wife, lifargarct Caen, the daughter, were placed at the bar. The father and daughter appeared to .preserve the satin: degree of composure that they did at the former examinations, but Mary Caen, the wife, seemed to labour •:nder great perturbation of spirit and very great lassitude of body. She was accommo. dated with a chair, and an infant, apparently about two years old, frequently interrupte.l the business by its artless prattle as it played unconscious!) around its unhappy mother. The exterior habiliments of all bore ample testimony to their ge neral novelly. There were some fresh witnesses examined, but their .testi. ninny did not tend to any further elucidation of the principal point, namely, the actual perpetration of the deed. They all spoke to facts either antecedent or subsequent to the.crime, which seems to hare been committed only in the presence of four persons. The lips of one of the four are sealed for ever. Caen himself cannot be made an evidence against his wife ; and the daughter, of whose presence and cognizance no moral doubt can be entertained, still obstinately adheres to her first assertions, that she knows nothing of the murder beyond find. ink the deceased lying in her father's yard, wounded and dy. ing. With respect to the fourth, and, as is believed, the prin. mind actor in this tragic scene, the secret rests between God and her own soul. After all the evidence had been taken down, Mr. Sergeant SELLOW observed, that ll* there was no evidence against Jere miah Caen, he was dischattred ; that the daughter, along with the other wi,nesses i should enter into recognizances to app ear at the next Old Bailey Sessiomt, to prosecute Mary Caen for the wilful murder of Alaitrice F!l;f4.qald. .. Caen then bowed to the Bench, kissed his infant child, and left the office. 11r. Sergeant SELLoxr then infOrmed the prisoner, that he was ready to hear any thing she might have to offer in her de fence, but at the saute time, he begged to caution her as to say. ing anything which might militate against herself'. The wretched woman rose, and sustaining herself with some difficulty against the bar, feebly said, " Your Honours, I have ' nothing more to say than this :—On the night in question I got a cow-heel tar our suppers. I took the child and went out for some pepper and unions, and it being boxing-day (Saint Stephen's), I was Made to drink two glasses of gin, one at the green-grocer's, and another at the oil-shop ; and in consequence of a circumstance which occurred in my family about sixteen months ago (which was broached that day my), whenev er 1 d r i n k ' any thing I always lost my reason. lure y itm earnar, I now declare, that I don't know what . happened. and how the man came y his death. I only know that I went for my hus band, wbo w a s drinking nt the public-hous e , tut he did not go to work all that day. I brought hint home to suPper, and he wanted to go back again: some dispute aro se - on t h at, - an d we quarrelled, but what followed I Dili remember.. Whether the man was there or not, I can't say ; but I dln't recollect seeing him, if 1 a was—that is all I have to say, gentlemen." The purport of this declaration was entered on the minutes, and the prisoner was fully comtnitted for t r i a l. Air. Patrick Dunne, of Laystall.'street, with whom the daughter lives servant, entered into a recognizance of 401. for her personal appearance at the Ses , inns, The office on each day was immensely crowded by Irish people, but what was very i e markahle, there was nothing of a tumultuous or disorderly character in their behaviour, even on the removal of the prisoner. POLICE I N MANSION.IIOUSE. NEW WEIGIII'S AND mr.‘ii rs Yesterday a tradesman came before the Loan MAYou to complain that the City Officers had refused to stamp a nom . sure, although it was accurate in • its demensiona according to to the legal measure. He produced an iron veksel on which was inscribed " Imperial half-peck." lie had, lie said, come all the way from Ireland, arid had procured 14 , 1 of these yes ads to be made of wrought iron, as the least perishable mate riel, for the use of the Government Offices at the (imports, to serve as standards. The Hall.keeper at Guildhall, however, positively refused to stamp the vessels, although. he admitted they were perfectly accurate. No reason was assigned for the 'refusal, except that it was contrary to practice to stamp iron vessels; but there was a prodigious outcry against such vex:sets by the makers of wooden measures, who exclaimed against things of so durable a nature, as a ruinous innovation. The Lona) MA TOR observing that there was a piece of brass affixed to the iron vermeil, about two inches below the brim, for the purpose of receiving the stamp ' ' said that all vessel s m os t be stamped close to the top. It would, he said, be evidently improper to stamp vessels in the manner, proposed by the com plainant, as they may be filed down to the stamp, or the stamp itself, as it was intended to be in a separate piece of metal, might be removed and affixed to another vessel. 13ut his Lord ship saw no reason why iron vessels, might not be st a mp e d i n .proper manner, when used for dry treasure, as it was proposed in this case; he was not aware that they were as perishable as wood, or more perishable than other metallic measures which were stamped without objection or hesitati on . Hi s L or d s hi p then sent for .Mr. Temple, the Hall.keeper, who has the super intendance of the Weight and Measure Offices, to learn the grounds of the refusal. Mr. Temple attended, and stated, that he had objected to stamp the iron measures on the round of custom. There was no instance of the stamping of iron measures, and the process was extremely difficult and inconvenient.' He did not, however, act upon his own discretion in the matter, but upon the audio. rity of the City Lands Committee, who controuled the business under the advice of the City Solicitor. About eleven years ago an application was made to have some iron measures stamped, and the opinions of the City Law Authorities were taken on the subject. They considered that the Cor. poration ought not to stamp them, and upon this opinion, the City Lands Committee had declined to comply with the application. lie had acted upon this declaration, but he could not state what ware the legal grounds on whi c h the decision was made. The Lorin MAYOR considered .that custom alone could not warrant tine refusal to comply with the present applicati on . If any new material were discovered that was adapted as well as wood to form measures, why should it be rejected ? Things were now made of iron, the idea of which had never before entered the mind of man as capable of being formed of such a material. Iron boats had been made, and iron ships were talked of. His Lordahip recommended that these vessels should be stamped, on the payment of a fee proportioned to the extra trouble. Mr. Temple said, he would, as the case WWI one of import. ance to the public, submit to the City Lands Committee, and to the City Law Officers. The Lonn MAYOR approved of this course. At the same time his Lordship stated to Mr. Temple that very numerous complaints had been made to him by parties, who stated that they could not get their measures stamped, and were conse quently rendered liable to penalties. Mr. Temple stated, that no selection was made ; the names of parties were put down as they came, and theifltneastures were stamped in turn, and only a certain number was stamped fur each person. The - LORD MAYOU expressed himself satisfied with the regulations. _ The opinion of the City Solicitor on several points relative to the New Measure Act :—He has pronounced that old pewter pots, if they be reduced to the standard size, and the old mark be 'erased, may be tamped, and that the satire may be done with respect to the coal measures. There are, upon the best calculation, 1,800,000 ale and beer measures in the City and suburbs. Of these 49,040 pots have been stamped at the Measure (Mice, front the 28th of No. Vember to the '3lst of December. As they have not so many persons employed at the Measure Office, ‘Vesttninster, it will be some time before the whole-wilt be completed, and the pub. licans, if the Act were to he put in execution, are liable to the penalties for noncompliance. There have been stamped 2,660 great wine measures; 3,268 pints, anti 9,495 small measures, and other measures, in the whole 22,992. The new standards arc about one sixth larger than the old wine measures,_ and one-sixtieth smaller than the old b eer men . sures. The new dry measure is about one thirty-second part larger than the old. Great quantities of the old beer measures are made to serve by having the bottom a little raised. The poorest classes are much discontented with the new measure, as they consider they will autrer by the regulation, while the wine drinkers will gain. The trial of the measures in the City is extremely strict, as in the olden time and the capa. city of every pot is tried by water fl•om the standard measures, while at Westminster only half a dozen, or little more, are tried out of each lot, and the rest are st a mp e d on t h e faith of those which were tried. Such is the popular reliance placed on the superior attention given, from time immemorial, by the rorpo. ration with respect to the full and legal measure far the use of his Majesty's subjects, that during the last tneudght a num. ber of measures which had been tried at Westminster were afterwards brought to Guildhall, in order that the City seal might be impressed upon them. The fees in the City for try.' precisely sely Tiie s imilar.ea pai d The else. la- u where are higher. ing and stamping pewter pots are three.pencel>er dozen. Tho se a t s r es are e opt?r n the v re i g h t i t s la n ti i ti o n w o u f g ri w e e e, i i b ) In all cases of reference to local custom, its ratio to the new standard is to be specified in the Contract, or the contract to be void.

BOW-STREET. • Ctruious A rram—A young man, named Henry Hope, was yesterday brought before Sir It, ni Om, by Ledbitter, the police constable, into whose custody he had been given by Sir Henry Wright Wilson, Bart., and a Magistrate for the county of Middlezex, for "'stealing" two suits of clothes, the property of the said Sir 11. 1 V. Wilson. The prosecutor had applied to the Chief Magistrate for n warrant to apprehend the prisoner, but Sir lt. thorns: declined to grant one, and adopt ed the milder course of issuing a summons, which was given to Ledbitter, who attended at Sir H. W. Wilson's hodse at Chel sea, at the time that the defendant was appoint's' to tall for some money due to him, but when he did appear•be was given in charge by the prosecutor for felony. The defendant was prenticed to the prosecutor from the Foundling Hospital, and Lewis A. Petit, Esq., one of the Committee, anti Mr. Lives ley, the Secretary to that institution, attended to watch the proceedings on his behalf. When the young man was called forward to answer the cons r plaint of Sir H. W tison, who sat on the Bench, Sir it. 111 tt N tE, With a view, as it seemed, to make the ease as short as possible, informed the gentlemen from the Hospital ache circumstances tinder which the defendant appeared before hitn. 11e was a p„ prenticed for 7 years to Sir 11.W.1Vilsonois a servant, and dim, was a stipulation In the indenture (as was the custom with t h e Hospital) that at the expiration of his apprenticeship his mas ter should furnish him with clothes to the value of N., to enable hint top to another service. Now it appeared that when the t term had expired, Sir H. W. Wilson chose to retain the de fendant in his service, where he remained for some years, anti when his term of free service began, Sir Wary gave him the quantity of clothes stipulated for in the indenture, anti con ceived that in fitting him ant to remain in his employment, he had just tot melt performed the comma as if the defendant • had gone into another family. The defendant lately left the service, and took with him two suits of livery. claiming them as his own. These were the short facts ; and the only ques. thin as it appeared to him (Sir R. Hirnie) w a s, wh et h er th e clothes were the property of the prosecutor or of the defendant. Sk WilsOn then, in a loud- tone, and greatly in the form w. 4 met speech, stated his case, in spite of repeated intimn lions from the Chief' Magistrate that it was only* waste of time. Ever since the defendant cam e i nto hi s service he had been regularly supplied with hi s tw o su i ts o f clothes rt.yvia, His establishment were all supplied with clothes twice a.yeer. as Mr. liurkit, his tailor, who had worked for his family (no inconsiderable one in this country) for thirty five years, - could testify.

When these clothes were worn out he had more, and so on until he left the family, and then he chose to take two old milks with him, upon the pretext that he (Sir 11. W. WilSon). had , said that he would make him a present of . his liveries whenever lie left him. Mr. Petit, after !leveret interruptionit from the prosecto3r, who seemed peculiarly impatient of any reniark from that tleman, asked how long the defendant remained iii the service after the term of apprenticeship had expired ? Sir IL W. Wilson answered, five years. • Mr. Petit-And so, Sir Henry 11 ikon, after being faithfully Reeved by this young man for twelve years, you think it right to bring himhere under a warrant for felony, because he took away a few old garments. Sir. it. lIIHNIE said there was no warrant. He told Wilson that servants had a notion that they were entitled to the cast off liveries ; and however mi sta k en t h e soling man might be, it could hardly be said that be had committed a felony_ He. (Sir R. Birnie) therefore merely granted a summons. , • Sir H. Wilson—Sp ynu. see, Sir, there was no warrant. Sir R. Brniery.—l must say, however, that Sir Henry applied - for a warrant. Mr. Petit said, that warrant or no warrant, the defendant was brought there in custody, and at the suit of the prosecutor. Sir R. Dinah; said, he did not consider the young man in dustodr at all. Sir H. Wilson said, the simple question Was, whether be watt entitled to the clothesor not. He would show that he had fur nished the defendant with a suit of the proper value when his term of apprentice s hip expired, and th a t h e never promised that he should takelsis liveries with him when he left the service. Mr. Burkit, the tailor, was then called, and stated that he charged five guineas per suit for the defendent's liveries, and that he did not know. of Sir Henry IVileon'a melting any pro mise of the kind alluded to. Sir H. Wilson then made several observations about the kindness which he said the defendant had experienced in his family, and the presents he had received, and said he might have remained but he was obliged tu discharge him lOr bad behaviour. Mr. Petit—Discharge him ! Pray was it not at his own de sire that he left your service ? Sir 11. Wilson said he believed it. was. Mr. Petit—Did he give you warning or you him ? Sir H. Wilson said the defendant gave warning. • Mr. Petit—And yet you talk about discharging him. Sir H. Wilson said he luta behaved very ill, which the de fendant denied. • Sir R. Bittsrix said the clothes had better be produced:' • . Mr. Petit-0 yes, let the old clothes be produced •by all means. Sir H. Wilson—Old clothes ! You may talk of old clothe s as much as you like, . I don't know whether you keep servants ar not, but— Mr. Petit—l don't attend here to answer questions. • Sir H. Wilson—There is no occasion for irritation. We are not met here for irritation. Mr. Petit—l am not come here for irritation as you ex press it, but simply to watch over the interests of the ybuese man. It is the practice of the excellent institution of which I have the honour to he a member, never to desert those who have once been under its care, -so long as they deserve protection, but to continue to them in their maturer years the same fostering kindness which thee experienced in their in. fancy. I certainly could not help feeling a little hurt whets I heard you talk about your discharging him when it appear e d that he discharged himself. And with respect to the clothes it appears that you would have sent him into the world naked after twelve years of faithful service. Sir H. Wilson denied that he would have done so. Mr. Petit—Why you did not know that he had clothes to wear or &place to put his head in. Sir H. Nilson repeated his denial, and again said that the defendant had behaved very ill. Sir It. Blew= said, he observed on the back of the inden ture a certificate of good character signed by Sir Henry Wilson. The clothes were now produced. They. consisted chiefly of jackets and breeches, certainly very considerably the worse for wear. By Sir H. Wilson's desire they were handed over to Mr. Burkit, who seemed by no means anxious to have the charge of them. • Mr. Petit said he hoped Sir H. Wilson was satisfied now that he had got his old clothes. Sir It. Birnie had for some time evinced a great desire to put a stop to the inquiry, and h e mow said the question w as a very simple one. The young man had taken away the clothes, im properly perhaps, strictly speaking, but he had done so under the notion that he was entitled to them, and there was not the slightest ground for an imputation even of constructive felony. The defendant was therefore discharged. Mr. Petit—Young man, you are now liberated, and you will go forth from this office with n character perfectly pure and un sullied, for as Sir Richard Birnie hes said, there was not the slightest pretext for an imputation even of constructive felony. I will just add, that so well satisfied am I with tho result Of this inquiry, and so convinced ant I of the goodness of yahr character, that if' you want a situation ar assistance of any kind, I will give it you with all my heart. There had been a pretty strong manifestation of feeling by a rather numerous auditory throughout the inquiry, and when the last remarks were made, there was st very lend expressive t u rf . a u pr ni la t u e se to s e e h ve e r c a k l i t t. imes repeated, in spite of th e Mints of Sir GUILDHALL. A SEn toe s Joxr.—Two young men, named John and Thomas Flynn, underwent an examination 'enteral/ before Mr. Alderman &HOLLY upon a charge of felony, under the following circumstances A journeyman carpenter, named Johnson, engaged in making some alterations at Messrs. 0 ildart and Palmer's,paper-stainers. Old Fish-street, on entering the premises early on Tuesday morning, threw his great coat across a c o unt i ng -h ouse stoo l in a corner of' the warehouse below, while he went to commence his work in one of the upper ittories. Ile saw it lying safe when he went to breakfast, but upon his return it had disappeared. There are four or five and twenty men and boys employed about the premises, anti on the alarm being given by Johnsoa, they mostly joined him making a general search from the roof to the basement of the house. At length the desired object was discovered Concealed under a heap of paper shaving, in the cel lar, and it was deemed advisable to leave it in the state it was found, with a view to detect the party who had placed It there. Mr. Dever, the clerk, having observed that John walked up to the warehouse,and looked towards the upper part, when a large blue paper was immediately lowered from a window by a long string, and taken possession of by him. Mr. Dever requested the assistance ore watchman. butthe refused to follow hint, and he therefore by himself seized' John and the bundle, which he I immediately discovered to be the carpenter's coat ; called again for the assistance .of the watchman (which, how. ever, he did not obtain), and ultimately, with the aid of a neighbour, who is a constable, secured both prisoners in the Compter. Thomas Flynn, In his defence, declared he only hid the coat by way of joke. John Flynn said his brother culled an him in the course of the day, and represented that he was going to purchase a great-coat, and asked hint to come anti meet him at nine o'clock. Ile went to Mr. Oildart's accordingly, looked up to see it' his brother had none work, saw the parcel lowered, was surprised, and was looking at it, when he was mired by the clerk. The carpenter identified the coat, and the Alderman, in com mitting the prisoners for trial, observed, that however much their story, their appearance, and the circumstance of their both being in good employ, weighed in their favour in his mind, he still thought it was a case which he must send to a Jury. The watchman's conduct must be represented to the Deputy of the Ward.—Committed.
